I personally think predicting the next 10 years is a bit difficult. Because you generally can't predict broad sweeping changes in culture/society/technology and dealing in specifics is hard (who would have predicted the iPod and iPhone in 2000? considering their secrecy). A year ago tablets were pretty much a dead end. If the decade had ended in 2008 no one would have predicted tablets making a comeback (probably, though the Crunchpad might have caused speculation). Now the Apple rumours mean it is high on our prediction lists, right? I think if were going to do this we should go for Jan 1, 2050... (and my only prediction there that I will make off hand is that Man will have commercialised space travel properly and reached the Moon again - if not beginning to settle / talk about settling there.)
